Wednesday 3rd June
Wellbeing Wednesday
Relax and enjoy some Calm Me time with Mrs Cocker by watching the video below.
Wellbeing Activities
Once you are feeling energised, you need to have a think about what makes you special, such as your personal qualities, skills, hobbies, as well as considering things such as your likes and dislikes. Why don't you discuss this with your family to make sure you don't forget anything?
Once you've done this, have a go at the activity below, you could print out the sheets or design your own 'Self-Love Blocks' poster and write the answers to the questions.
Don't forget to take a couple of minutes a day to complete some Calm Me time.
